Studio portrait of 4824A Private (Pte) David Harold Stevenson. A warper from West Footscray, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Stevenson joined on 15 July 1915 but due to the loss of his attestation papers he re-attested on 17 March 1916 and embarked for overseas service with the 12th Reinforcements, 21st Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Euripides on 4 April 1916. Later receiving a gunshot wound to the head, he was evacuated to England. Following his recovery he rejoined his battalion and was wounded in the left ankle and again invalided to England. While recovering he illegally absented himself and was sentenced to 60 days detention the last 5 days of which were later remitted. He then transferred to the 6th Battalion in England and returned to Australia on 14 January 1919. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had a permit to take photographs at the Broadmeadows and Seymour army camps during the First World War. In the 1930s, the Australian War Memorial purchased the original glass negatives from Algernon Darge, along with the photographers’ notebooks. The notebooks contain brief details, usually a surname or unit name, for each negative.
